There is still a fight to protect our voting rights.
And that fight is happening in California right now.
A proposed statewide voter initiative would require government-issued identification to vote and expand voter list verification requirements across the state.
This moment is not new.
In 1850, California’s constitution restricted voting to white men. Black Californians were excluded from the ballot even as they lived and worked across the state.
Access expanded only through sustained struggle — from the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, to protections strengthened by the California Voting Rights Act.
History shows something clearly:
Voting rights are never permanent.
They expand through organizing and law — and they can be restricted through policy.
The rules that shape who votes are still being written.
Understanding this history is part of protecting our future.
Share this post to keep the fight for our voting rights visible.

“We have lost gas, we have lost electricity, but we have NOT lost power!” - Kevin Cosney.
We stood in solidarity with Pastor Kerwin, at the historic First AME Church in Pasadena, Kevin Cosney from CA Black Power Network, and hundreds of leaders from faith-based, community, labor, grassroots, and Indigenous groups at the. We gathered to demand a fair and equitable recovery for survivors of California’s devastating wildfires.
The voices in that room represented countless people who have lost homes, jobs, and small businesses. Together, we urged LA County and elected officials to provide timely and just support, protect vulnerable communities, and prioritize long-term, sustainable solutions for all Angelenos.
The stories shared were powerful reminders of our people’s strength and the urgency to continue this fight. We must keep pushing for the changes our communities deserve.
Please consider supporting our partners Essie Justice @essie4justice and Dignity & Power Now @dignityandpowernow , whose mutual aid efforts are directly assisting those affected by the fires.

Election Day was draft day, not the Super Bowl. Black California showed up, and history was made. Now we celebrate, rest, recharge and get to work.
Swipe for five ways to keep your power working all year: know who represents you, call them, show up where decisions get made, keep receipts on their promises, and fix what’s broken on your block right now.
You can’t do everything, but you can do something. What do you want our newly elected leaders to tackle first? Tell us in the comments.

The Trump Administration keeps trying to interfere and sabotage our elections. They’re spreading lies and confusion and trying to intimidate voters to stop us from voting because they are afraid of what happens when ordinary people show up to vote.
But we won’t be intimidated. We’re showing up to vote and to protect our vote because we know its our power to decide our healthcare, our wages, our rents. It’s our power to protect our families and communities.
Today we vote. Then after the election we demand they count every vote, certify and RESPECT OUR VOTES.
Mark your calendars now. Save it and share it. Because we’re not stopping until they respect our votes.

🎃🗳️ BALLOTS & BOOS: THAT’S A WRAP! 👻💚💜
Our Game Changers showed up, got spooky, and put their civic muscle to work! 💪🏽 Exploring ballots, learning about ballot measures, asking questions and building their understanding of the election process are all ways our youth brought the energy, curiosity, and creativity.
We loved seeing young people turn out, get informed, and take up space in a fun, welcoming, and nonpartisan environment. And of course, they looked BOO-tiful doing it! 👻🕸️
A special THANK YOU to our partners California Black Power Network, We Are California, and Can't Stop California for helping make this event possible and supporting opportunities for young people to build their civic knowledge and engage with their communities. 💚💜
And thank you to every young person, friend, and community member who joined us, brought the spooky spirit, and helped make the evening a success!
